I joined the lunacy...

Last week, I noticed lots of quilters talking about the Log Cabin Loonies group starting up over at JulieK Quilts.  Julie is planning on having a link-up once a month on the day of the full moon.  When the first few log cabin quilt projects were linked up, I had fun looking through and reading the posts.  Of course, I decided I needed to join in!  I realized this is the perfect project for all the strings I had discovered when I sorted my scraps into color bins over the winter.

Since May's color over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is green, I started with a green Log Cabin block:

I don't know whether you would call my log cabin "improv" or "free-pieced," but there was very little measuring involved in making this block.  I mostly just followed the guideline of "top, right, bottom, left" as I added low volume strings to the top and right, and green strings to the bottom and left.  I didn't worry about the width being consistent, but did square the block up to 12 1/2 inches when I decided it was big enough. This does result in it being a bit wonky, but I wanted to have the freedom to just sew!  And it was so much fun!

Now, I'm working on a blue log cabin, using the same (lack of) plan!

I certainly have plenty of strings to choose from!

Just for fun, I laid a few out to see where I might be going.

I'm going to enjoy this!
